What temp do you bake?
I missed a step when I typed it up thank you for letting me know. I have added the temp (400°) in step 6. Sorry and thank you again for letting me know so I can continue to provide the best recipes 🙂
I know the whole recipe is 6 points, but say you have one chicken breast is that three points?
